Honestly, they were going about this the wrong way. The real way to take the money from the bastard is selling painted miniatures, customized action figures, and releasing multiple adventures in different formats. Eat GWS lunch. Start selling figures at their scale and style them so they'll fit into the WH40K aesthetic. You have the factories already with your other companies. Why not use them? Also an official MLP Dungeons and Dragons setting might be worth releasing in PDF form or even kickstarting it. If the suckers are dumb enough to give you their money why not do it? What other IP does Hasbro out and out own? GI JOE? You probably can't make it work in 5th edition but d20 modern is still a thing. A stupid thing. Release it in that. There are still weirdos out there playing that game. You should be trying to sell them new and better merchandise. Does Duel Masters have anything cool you can plunder? There are dozens of worlds in in Magic The Gathering you can sell as settings. You don't even have to commission new art for those.

I mean I'll hand it to whoever leaked this, there are worse ways to hand in your two weeks. But also the people playing DnD won't play another game as long as they live, give it a month or two and they can change whatever licensing they want.

that's what they thought about the 4e wars and its something they've been backpedalling on ever since, and back then it wasn't even that many people who dropped off. this could easily be worse
